Flying

Baby Bro played himself to sleep on his beloved Jungle Gym.

Master Brody went to the cardiologist yesterday. We stopped by the NICU to see our friends and to meet Cuz Christian. Both boys were adorable. Christian was just hanging out in his warm isolette, looking as cute as ever. He is doing well...still a wee moment on the roller-coaster.

Master Brody was adorable because he "performed" for all his nurses. He talked, cooed, laughed, and smiled at all his pretty nurses and NICU staff (and Rus too - Rus isn't so pretty, but we still love him). I really think he remembered them, he seemed sooooo excited to be there. In spite that he had a rash and hives all over his body. Our pediatrician, Wonderful Susie, thinks it was the last of that virus we had just saying goodbye. Today he is much better. But me and Brent on the other hand...not so good. I have a sore throat and Brent has a cough, sore throat, congested, ick. So please pray we don't give it to Baby Bro.

The cardiologist said Bro's EKG looked good and we don't go back for 3 months. Dr. Phillips will keep an eye on Brody's conditions and we will pray they remedy themselves.

Tonight as I think about all of the things Brody has over-come (and Christian, and Wyatt, and Addy, and Charlie, every preemie we have met), I leave you with one of my favorite verses, Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Are these little miracles not a breathing testimony to that? God strengthens them every day and every day they accomplish much. So today when adversity hits you...muster the strength of a preemie.....remember Jesus died for you....and succeed, just like the bumble bee. He flies because God told him to, his wings are too little to support his big body but he flies because Christ strengthened him too.
